Equipment

  • ThermoServer

Ingredients

  • 80 grams brown onion halved
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbs ginger finely minced
  • 80 grams carrots roughly chopped
  • 2 tbs oil
  • 500 grams beef mince
  • 300 grams water
  • 2 tbs cornflour
  • 2 teaspoon curry powder (more or less depending on your taste preferences)
  • 1 teaspoon veg stock concentrate
  • 80 grams oyster sauce
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 350 grams cabbage shredded
  • 350 grams Singapore noodles or thin hokkien noodles

Instructions

  • Place the garlic and brown onion into the Thermomix bowl and chop on Speed 6 for 5 seconds.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the carrot and mix for 4 seconds, speed 5.
  • Add the minced ginger and the oil and Saute for 4 minutes, Varoma, Speed 2 Reverse.
  • Add the beef mince and cook for 4 minutes, Varoma, Speed 2 Reverse.
  • Mix the cornflour and water together until no lumps remain. Add the cornflour mixture, curry powder, vegetable stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce and the cabbage to the bowl.
  • Cook for 4 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 Reverse (you'll need to use the spatula to push the cabbage down).
  • Place the noodles into the ThermoServer and add the cooked meat mixture. Leave for 15 minutes.
  • Gently stir through the noodles (which will have now cooked) and divide between serving bowls. Serve with a little extra soy sauce, sesame seeds or chopped peanuts.

Notes

For a chunkier texture, you might also like to chop your vegetables by hand, rather than using the Thermomix.
If you prefer more sauce with your chow mein, cook the noodles in boiling water before combining with the meat chow mein mixture.
Don't be alarmed if the cabbage hasn't quite cooked through, it will continue to cook while in the Thermoserver.
The main trick to getting your Thermomix chow mein to thicken up is to pop it into the ThermoServer for 10-15 minutes before serving it up.
